The Onion youtube vids of the late 2000's were phenomenal. It was all downhill from there imo. Take a look at this recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2niC4ACCp20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2niC4ACCp20. I don't like Taylor Swift but this is just not funny. I don't see what the point of it is is.
Compare to this celebrity satire of the golden era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9QisdRPwEM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9QisdRPwEM.
- BizarroLand 2y agoWhen you reach the point where you are cross checking a comedy website's comedy against itself you might have caught a case of the old. I remember hearing my dad talk about how SNL isn't as funny as it used to be, too. It happens to the best of us.
- slater 2y ago"[Thing] that just so coincided with my formative years was the absolute best. it's been downhill ever since" is a tale as old as the hills.
- TeaBrain 2y agoThat is true, but the Onion is also a shell of its former self. The Onion became a household name because of how widely consumed it used to be. It doesn't have anywhere near that reach or cultural influence today.
- rightbyte 2y agoThe new one is really bad. Feels so fake. And the anchor can't role play. The old one is so much better. If you don't listen, you don't even get that it is a joke.
